I Wish It Was 1989

[Chorus]
And I wish it was
1989
I was just a kid
Best days of my life
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989

[Verse 1]
I got your mixtape on my cassette walkman
Record the radio, high speed dubbing
Blockbuster Video, look who’s talking
I’m going back in time, 1989
I got you on my mind

[Chorus]
And I wish it was
1989
I was just a kid
Best days of my life
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I gave my hoverboard to Ferris Bueller
He stole a car and took it Back to the Future
Wear my shellsuit if you think it might suit you
I’m going back in time, 1989
To see my friend McFly

[Chorus]
And I wish it was
1989
I was just a kid
Best days of my life
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989
And I wish it was
1989
I was just a kid
Best days of my life
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989

[Interlude]
In 1989 (1989, 1989)
In 1989

[Post-Chorus]
And I wish it was
And I wish it was (1989)
And I wish it was (1989)
And I wish it was

[Bridge]
No one called your phone in 1989
We holiday’d at home in 1989
The war was always cold in 1989
And everything is gold in 1989
In 1989, in 1989

[Chorus]
And I wish it was
1989
I was just a kid
Best days of my life
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989 (1989)
And I wish it was
1989 (1989)
I was just a kid
Best days of my life (1989)
When the wall came down
I just wanted to be Michael Knight
In 1989
